Team,
I am ready to publish the team’s fall practice schedule. I really appreciate everyone’s patience as we worked on this. This schedule is slightly different from our previous years, but I think it gives our team some big advantages in the current landscape. Our swimmers can train for large periods of time and we still retain our separation of practice groups and our low numbers of swimmers in the pool at one time.
We will use this practice schedule until December of this year. If by that time our situation has improved and we can add/change practice times, we will explore those options.
We will retain our protocols for training when we start this schedule in September. For example, we will still check temperatures at the door, we will not use the locker rooms for changing and showering, and we will not open the building to the public/parents during team hours. As things change over the next weeks/months we will update these protocols.
As for a meet schedule…. Much of this is still up in the air. I can say with confidence that we intend to continue to run meets in the similar format of the past few meets we have done. As we move into the colder weather, we will find new ways to adapt. I am optimistic that soon we will be able to produce a meet schedule for the 2020-2021 SCY season. Again, thank you for your patience and willingness to make things work!
-Coach John
